The United States doesn’t care about people, only capital.

You see it in the ruins of public education, the ruins of the common infrastructure, the innumerable tent cities where we throw our neighbors to die of exposure and police harassment for the crime of being sub-optimal capital batteries, the way we let capitalists treat their workers, etc.

Why is this story surprising?

Idiots can crow about what a “great wealthy nation of opportunity we are herp derp” but we are more of a propagandized labor camp than a society. The inhuman priorities this nation actually practices are beyond contemptible.

And nothing will change unless it’s for the worse, because the capitalist’s gravy pipeline is our only priority at all other’s expense, and surprise surprise, they still demand more out of your ass to to attempt to satiate their insatiable greed. Lets just give you even shittier healthcare and pocket the difference in our race down into oblivion, shall we? Thats called rational self-interest!
